Looking for a 3/4 LHD. Buffalo has some 3/4 LHD's. If we can squeak out a 1st for Scandella I'd be elated. Won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminder that Edmonton traded Eberle for Ryan Strome in 2017, then Strome for Spooner in 2018. Now Spooner is going to waivers in 2019. Never change, Chia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 For the "Auston Matthews is so much better than Eichel it's not even close woe is us" crowd: Matthews has 1 goal in his last 13 games, 9 points in those 13 (which paces for 57 over 82), and 0 points in 3 straight. Oh, and Toronto is a whopping 6-7 over that span. The moral isn't that Matthews is overrated or that he can't help his team win, it's that streakiness happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabres improve AND they now get a lottery pick after Marco works his magic.

Back to the trade tree: Wow. That is miserable. Just bad move after bad move. The right fork after Pronger is missing something, though; what did Edmonton get for that 2d round pick?

The Pronger trade also brought in more than just that pick and the pick used for Eberle. I'm too lazy to see where those branches go. But anyway, that second round pick is pretty complicated. It bounced around a bit in a series of exchanges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From wikipedia: Edmonton previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on July 3, 2006 that sent Chris Pronger to Anaheim in exchange for Joffrey Lupul, Ladislav Smid, a first-round pick in 2007, a conditional first-round pick in 2008 and this pick. So yeah, there's a bit missing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Fwiw that Messier tree is kinda funny for another reason: it's been pretty widely acknowledged that the alumni are running the show in Edmonton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Chiarelli being a GM is endless entertainment, this sucks. Color me shocked that Edmonton replaced him with a Gretzky though 10 minutes ago, Taro T said: Keith Gretzky owes us 1. Get on the phone Mr. Botterill. So sad that Chiarelli's toast. Any possibility he can go to Dallas next? Jim Nill can't live forever. Maybe Filly? Eye-lan-ders?!? Philly already fired theirs. Nill seems to be on the owners food side, considering all the public backlash against Seguin and Benn from them. I'd bet Holland is next in a retirement-esk move to make room for Yzerman Edited January 23, 2019 by WildCard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 The write up on Chiarelli. We knew he was bad, but it's still eyeopening to see everything listed in one place. https://deadspin.com/the-oilers-finally-fired-peter-chiarelli-who-did-so-li-1831980105 Quote: - There was the trade of two draft picks (one of whom became reigning Calder champ Mathew Barzal) for Griffin Reinhart, who is now out of the organization and scuffling in the AHL. - There was the one-for-one trade of former first overall pick Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson; two years later Hall won MVP. - There was the seven-year, $42-million contract given to Milan Lucic, who appears to have fallen off a cliff on the wrong side of age 30, and is still signed through 2023. - There was the trade of Jordan Eberle for Ryan Strome, who a year later was flipped for Ryan Spooner, who was put on waivers this week. - And on Monday, Chiarelli’s last move was announced: a three-year, $13.5 million extension for Mikko Koskinen, a 30-year-old goaltender with 32 NHL games under his belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
